Yeah I couldn't tell you if I ever felt them. No one could describe them besides tightening and shoot my belly was always tight! My boys are 15 weeks in two days but looking back I remember asking the same thing

Some people say like menstral cramps mine feel like my uterus is curling up in a ball u can feel your stomach get rock hard when it happens if u touch it you can tell the diff as to what it normally feels like it makes me feel like I have to pee like its also squeezing my bladder.... And sometimes i feel like i cant breath makes you lose your breath for a second like the air gets pushed right out of you! Sometimes they hurt like someones squeezing you, but usually all it is is the tightening squeezing feeling and your stomach gets really hard for a minute then relaxes

Tightening is the best way to describe it. They shouldn't hurt but can be uncomfortable. Make sure you drink lots of water! If you aren't drinking enough you'll get more Braxton hicks. Also I've found if I'm doing too much so I try to rest more. They aren't a big deal so you shouldn't worry too much about it.

I agree with all of this (tightening, etc.) but when I get them they last way longer than a minute or two. Sometimes I spend an entire evening sitting, drinking water and waiting for the tightness to go away. And it will as long as i stay seated but as soon as i get up its back. Does anyone else get this? I asked my doc about the length and he wasn't concerned.
